The first trailer for the second season of Wednesday - the most watched show in Netflix's history - has given fans the first glimpses of Joanna Lumley and Steve Buscemi in their new roles, alongside a host of returning favourites.

The streamer has announced it will split the new season in half - releasing the first episodes on 6 August and the second batch on 3 September.

This series follows Wednesday Addams, played by Jenna Ortega, as she returns to Nevermore Academy, now under the leadership of new principal Barry Dort (Buscemi).

Also joining the school this term is her little brother Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez), a character described by executive producer Tim Burton as an "outcast among outcasts".Wednesday's parents will also have an increased presence on campus this season - "a rare new form of torture for the fiercely independent amateur sleuth", Netflix said.

The first full-length trailer, which was released, appropriately, on Wednesday, opened with the show's lead character going through airport security.

As the metal detector beeps, she has to unload a knuckle duster, cattle prod, several knives and Thing - a disembodied hand - from her bag, before a security guard challenges her about the tube of sun cream she is also carrying.
